The passage around this formula
EPR’s paper stayed a philosophical argument until 1964, when John Bell showed it could be turned into an experiment [ 3 ] . Bell proved that any theory obeying both locality — no faster-than-light influence — and realism, in the sense of outcomes fixed by pre-existing local properties, must satisfy a statistical bound. For a simple two-setting test, . holds for any local realist theory, while quantum mechanics allows S up to 2 2.83 . Early experimental violations left the detection loophole (too many unmeasured particles to rule out a biased subsample) and the locality loophole (stations not separated fast and far enough to exclude a hidden signal) open to…
